    I love the one I have now. I had some double carts that are dying on ebay. Actually, I would love to see the one I have now maybe with a still image of a troll in the background. I'm just not good with animation. Can I ask you something. When you fill up all your joysticks under your avatar, do you automatically become a moderator or how does that work?

    Can't remember the thread but CPUWIZ may know. Wasn't there a splitter a while back that was mentioned or was that for the Real Atari Joystick. Course you could use a 4 port USB hub expander plug both up and ensure that you change the preferences in the game if the option exists. 4 port hubs run about $19 at any computer store-COMP USA-maybe.

    I don't think Volleyball to Video Pinball would be any more illegal than Volleyball to Human Cannonball...

    I thought I had your 40 points beat, but then I realized I had an illegal link from volleyball to Video Pinball...

    40 points. Although the Human-to-Man and Aid-to-Raiders connections are so lame I probably deserve more points.

    I think I know a way to further evolve this game. Thanks for your patience as I keep evolving the rules!

     

    We're going to a point system. The chain with the least number of points wins. Here's how the scoring works:

     

    - For a perfect word-to-word match, 0 points.

    - For a match of a word with a plural of that word, 1 point.

    - For a match where 1 word is embedded in the other word (such as Star in Starmaster), 10 points.

     

    - Using any of the short words as a match (is, the, of, or, and) is still illegal.

    - It's illegal to make a match using portions of both word (such as matching "command" with "superman". If "superman" were spelled "Super Man", then this would be legal but would cost 10 points as above).

     

    So given these rules, who can link Laser Blast to Pitfall using the fewest number of points? In case of a tie in points, the shortest chain wins.

    OUTSTANDING!!!

     

    I'm going to listen the "hard" rules a bit by allowing plurals (i.e., raider=raiders).

     

    Let's see somebody connect Laser Blast with Pitfall (two Crane games).

    Using the "easy" rules:

     

    Raiders of the Lost Ark

    Commando Raid

    Chopper Command

     

    Using the "hard" rules... I had a huge chain and was still no where near getting it, so I gave up! Matty's approach looks good though.

    Some of these may not count under the strict rules, but it's a try...

     

    Space Invaders

    Space Cavern

    Pitfall II: Lost Caverns

    Raiders of the Lost Ark

    Star Raiders

    Starmaster

    Masters of the Universe - He Man

    Pac-Man

     

    Under the "easy" rules, you could just tack Chopper Command on the end of that and you'd get the RotLA-to-Chopper Command chain too!

    Nice chain.

     

    Instead of just making long chains, how about if we have a specific objective this time.

     

    Can anybody make a chain that connects Space Invaders to Pac Man?

     

    Let's add another rule: no using numbers to make a link.

     

    As a tougher challenge, can anybody connect Raiders of the Lost Ark to Chopper Command?

    Okay, I'm going to do something radical here to simplify the game, and also to make it more difficult. This is an official rules revision.

     

    1. You have to match the EXACT word, not portions of words. Thus "command" CAN'T be linked with "man". "Command" can only be linked with another "command".

     

    2. You cannot use the following words to make a link:

     

    the, and, of, is, or

     

    3. You can only use a number to make a link if that EXACT number is used in the title of both games. (thus Miner 2049er can't be linked with Pitfall 2).

     

    Let's try it this way and see what happens.

    Is "of" legal in this game? What about other words like "a","is" and "the"?

     

    Just wondering before I play.

    Great chain. To answer question at the end, no, that isn't legal.

     

    But the two different names for the pinball game are legal.

     

    I guess it's my thread so I'll make the rules!

    Mind Master Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2003 12:22 pm Post subject: Who can make the longest Atari chain?

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    This is a game. Here are the rules: make the longest list of Atari 2600 games you can. Each entry in the list has to share at least one word of the title with the previous entry. For purposes of the game plurals count as the same word as singulars (i.e., racer = racers). Words can also legally be embedded in other words (i.e., commander=command=commando, since they all contain "command".

     

    Here's a very short chain for starters:

     

    Missile Command

    Chopper Command

    Pac Man ("command" contains "man")

    Ms. Pac Man

    Jr. Pac Man
